Innisfree Village is looking for motivated, passionate, and conscientious candidates dedicated to rural community living with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. A life-sharing experience with Innisfree Village gives individuals unique experiences for discovery and growth:
-
Through the development of meaningful relationships and connections with individuals from all walks of life.
-
Through the building of skills and knowledge in community living, caregiving, and therapeutic work.
-
Through opportunities to have a positive impact on the lives of others.
Life at Innisfree requires patience, a good sense of humor, and a willingness to learn and adapt. Where profound joys and real-life challenges go hand in hand, emotional maturity and health are essential factors for success. We are seeking individuals who are compassionate, enthusiastic, and committed to a meaningful service experience.
Previous experience working with individuals with disabilities is a plus, but not required. During a volunteer's first month, training is provided in all areas of village life through a combination of structured instruction and hands-on application, with guidance and support along the way from a variety of community members. The orientation period is designed to give our volunteers a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities, while also embracing and utilizing an individual's existing knowledge, skills, abilities, and life experiences in order to create a well-rounded and personalized training and orientation experience.
Other Qualifications
- Candidates commit to one year of service, with the option of additional year(s) of service
- Candidates will have the equivalent of a high school diploma. Further college or comparable experience is a plus.
